This Morning’s Photo Adventure Part 3/3

I headed in the direction of home… south. I stopped at a little marina type place right across the water from the Seabrook Nuclear Power Plant. At this point in time I am not glowing in the dark.

And this is the point where I realized that my ISO was set to 1600. I changed it to 100 but I was almost done for the day so there aren’t many low ISO pics. Oh well.

And there we have it. All of the pics (well, most of them at least) from my morning photo fun experience at the ocean. I shot a whole roll of film to go along with all of this. Maybe I’ll get it developed at some future date in 2025 or something.

Sailing

The search function on the new Flickr is pretty awesome. The search function on the new Google photos is better. Google photos’ search page prompts you with faces, places, and things. One of the things on my search page is sailing. Here’s a bunch of examples of what it found…

For comparison’s sake, here are a few of what Flickr found when I searched for sailing.

Well… I can’t actually post anything because Flickr’s search didn’t actually find anything when I plugged in sailing. How about sailboat?

Again, nothing. What about if I search for Boat?

I went back to Google Photos and searched for Boat. Google’s results returned much faster, but there weren’t as many hits. Both sites had a ton of false positives but I think Flickr had more.

So there is a wicked unscientific comparison of the search functions built into Google Photos and Flickr that is really just an excuse to put a ton of pictures into a blog post.
